Confucian scholar here...Confucius never said that. Just sayin'.

I keep forgetting that Peter Navarro is a medical expert specializing on responses to infectious diseases.

"If Trump grants her clemency, she is prepared to testify that Trump is innocent". Sounds on the up and up to me.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer says his client will only speak if Trump grants her clemency

Lutnick is right that Trump brought back the golden age - Gold has never been so expensive as it is during his administration. I wonder why.

This is so true. Any organization whatsoever or work with respect to supplies, signs, whatever - these people assume automatically it must have been Soros & Co. Can't possibly be the case that some people simply took care of it.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

Need unambiguous statements of support by everyone — from Walz and Klobuchar and Smith to Schumer and Jeffries— for state and city law enforcement standing up to lawless DHS.

"Why did the leopard eat MY face?" Part 8937

This is called a "heist"

Walz should just follow the MAGA lead and say "yeah, so what, I myself got a kickback from the fraud - that's what any smart person would do" and then insult reporters who ask about it further.

This is an irresponsible headline from the NYT. Should be called "Science Changes: That's Why We Should Trust It" since that's the conclusion of the piece. Instead, the NYT generates skepticism where there is none though a deceptive title.

My Thoughts on Venezuela

Jesus! I had no idea I was about to die! I need to get. my affairs in order pronto!

Jack Smith, p. 27: "There is no historical analog for what President Trump did in this case … [W]hat he was not free to do was violate Federal law and use knowing-- knowingly false statements about election fraud to target a lawful government function. That he was not allowed to do."

Boycotting the "Trump-Kennedy Center" is not the same as "boycotting the arts". What a dumbass.

Ah, now I see the concepts of the plan murkily.

Trump and Vance: We need to annex Greenland so that their mail can be properly delivered.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth. When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Plato doesn't mean that tyrants can't have a good time and enjoy their misrule. He just means that tyrants are slaves to their passions, and so internally chaotic. As a result, it's not possible for them to have peace, or well-being (which is different from enjoyment).

This is a very useful and helpful point. I think most people project the general narrative of rulings in their lifetime to the court in general, historically. In truth, the SCOTUS 'protecting the minority' is a historical deviation from that narrative as opposed to the narrative itself.

HASSETT: "All the good things, Trump Economy. All the bad things, Biden Economy."

Why aren't 60 minutes people resigning en masse?

What's the right response here? LOL?

Too many gang members buying homes and driving up the cost of real estate. You can't make this shit up.

I'm trying to understand what is newsworthy in this interview. All it really does is say "yeah, all the stuff Dems say about Trump and his people is true". OK, that's nice.What else?

Now Trump is left with no alternative but to crush IN's GOP by primary-ing everyone and cutting off all aid to the state to cause maximum citizen suffering. If only he had another option! 🙄

25% GDP? Why can't the US's GDP be 1000% percent? C'mon Trump - go big or go home!

Trump's numbers among Latinos are "strongly" collapsing, or "powerfully" folding up. For Trump it's the muscularity that matters, not the thing being muscularly shaped.

The problem here is that education is a product that student doesn't really understand, and often doesn't come to value until years later.

How do you resign from a job you don't have?

MTG is working her new grift like a BOSS

Trump is like Kim Jung-Il: "Born of the mountain"

This is how willing Mullin is to embarrass himself and shed his dignity. The people bobbing up and down in the ocean holding on to debris were a threat, or could have "run". Run? How can these words exit his mouth and he have any self-respect?

To win games (rhetorical)

Tuberville may well be one of the dumbest people alive today. This man is so stupid I'm surprised his organs continue to regulate and operate properly. This doesn't mean he won't win, though.

When even RMG has you down -7, you know things are BAD,

Mullin: Let me see if I can effectively parrot Russian propoganda without outright saying "I am parroting Russian propaganda"

Says police should rough up the people they arrest, thinks protesters should be shot in the leg, thinks Khasogghi "had it coming" when he was dismembered by a bone saw, wants Dem Senators to get the death penalty, yeah, he doesn't sound violent to me.

Trump calls for death penalty for sitting Democratic representatives, NYT doesn't see it as "news fit to print". No where to be found on front page

The NYT hits keep coming. After Douthat's last column, "Why Women Ruined the Workplace" now we get "Understanding Why the Right Hates Jews"

NYT at it again. 119k jobs is "solid gains" when it's only solid gains following two months of 0 jobs gained. In a normal environment, 119k jobs would be anemic.

It's not like the Mafia soldiers collect protection money once and that's it. They return, week after week, for their envelope.
